Poor Mac OSX support
As far as the device goes, it is pretty sleek, light and fast but only after you get it to work with your operating system. It comes pre-formatted with Fat32 for Windos. If you want to get it to work with OSX you will have to install WD Disc utility either from their website or from the drive it self. The WD Disc utility was the only way I can find to reformat the drive to HTFS, after which Mac OSX disk util was able to reformat and encrypt it. The experience was less then smooth as the WD disc util kept crashing until I rebooted and updated my system to latest updates. Overall it took me about an hour to figure out how to get the thing to format on Mac. I'll update on reliability later.
